IPhone 4S time and date keeps resetting, despite being set to automatically do so.

After having recently upgraded my iOS to 7.0.4, my Verizon iPhone 4S has started to re-set the time and date every now and then at random. It does this, despite me having my Settings set to automatically set the date and time based on my location. I have called Verizon about this and all they had me do was to reset my network connections and reset my roaming capabilities...and despite me doing that this morning, the time re-set itself again this afternoon. I have found the only solution has been for me to power off my phone completely and then once on again, set the phone either into Airplane mode for a second - or to just wait until the Verizon signal switches the phone back to being the correct time and date on its own. I have also found that these issues have started to affect my ability to send and receive iMessages, as well. For some reason, when the date/time re-sets, the iMessage option becomes un-selected and I have to manually go back and turn that functionality back on. Anyone else having these same issues? It's incredibly frustrating and I'm not sure what else I can do save for constantly hard, re-starting my iPhone everytime I notice the time and date is out of whack. Also it's hard for me to tell if this is an Apple hardware issue/bug that just needs to be fixed - or something to do with Verizon. Any tips/info would be appreciated.

Try setting your time to manual. This way, the iPhone is the one controlling the time. As you correctly understand, when it is on auto, it is controlled by Verizon and their individual towers. If after setting the time to manual it works, then I would say it isn't a phone issue, but a Verizon one. Do you frequent the same area when this occurs? It could very well be an issue with a particular tower in your area and Verizon would need to check that. If the time goes off again while on manual, then it could be the phone. User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new. Try each in order until the problem is fixed. If it cannot be, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple to have the phone looked at for hardware issues.

EMate 300 Time and Date keeps Resetting

I got an eMate 300 for Christmas 2013, and a problem I've come to notice is that when I set the time and date, and then tap the mini clock in the corner to re-open the clock, it's either corrupted, or it is reset to default. Is this the memory, or is it a bug? My documents have timestamps on them, and I don't want them to get scrambled up. Thank you in advance.

Very few people have eMates anymore. You might find the answer on http://www.lowendmac.com/
or http://www.pda-soft.de/en/hardware/emate/disassembly/disassembly.html
You might want to e-mail them to find out if a PRAM battery exists for it.

TIme and Date keep changoing

I am running the New 21.5 iMac with 10.6.1 and bootcamp with windows 7. My time and date keep changing, going forward 2-3 days and changing from AM to PM. This happens when I boot into Windows 7 or put it to sleep. I tried setting it to use the Apple NTP server and setting it manually, but neither keep it correct. Also, this is another issue, the display drivers do not offer the highest or correct resolution in Windows 7, it only shows a generic VGA display adapter in device manager.
TIA for any help!

Hello d:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I do not use Windows on my Macs (and have no intention of doing so). Having said that, there is a forum for people who do here:

Iphone 5c time and date

My iPhone 5c time and date do not display properly even though it's set to "Set Automatically" under Date & Time in the settings. My time zone is set to the correct zone as well. I've tried restoring the iPhone as a new phone and also from backup and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Settings --> General --> Date & Time
Is set automatically On?
is your time zone correct?

I am trying to find an app that will track the usage on my iphone with times and dates to see what was accessed on my phone when I was away from it and what if anything was done eg deleted messages viewed facebook etc?

Hi! I am trying to find an app that with track everything that is done on my phone with times and dates? im not really woried about call usage and texts sent I need it to view what has been done - for example:
Messages received
Messages deleted
Facebook viewed
Messages viewed
Internet viewed and what?
I just have an issue with someone using my phone - I used to track this through double clicking the home button and roughly knowing in what order I had been on things but they have sussed this one!
Thank you!!

No way to do that on a non-jailbroken iPhone. Why don't you just passcode protect your phone? That way no one but you can use it...unless they know your passcode.

Time and Date keeps changing

Every time I connect my ipod touch 2.1.1 the date and time keeps changing. is it a glitch? i also tried restoring my ipod but it didnt help, so please fix this

Thanks. This solves the time and date issue. But I still have a problem when I do the following: Settings>General>Time & Date, then the main screen (with all of the icons) is displayed, I never see the time, date screen, it goes back after about 1 second to main screen The same thing happens when I do the following: Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>I then scroll to the bottom of the page and I get the main page again. I never get to touch on contacts or calendar, only mail. Please help.

Iphone 5c time and date not working right

hi guys I would really appreciate your help if you have any information or similarities on this.
I have an iPhone 5c and the date and time are both lacking, I don't know what is wrong and can I fix it? its also messing with my 3g and wifi
thanks,
gem.

This same problem has happened again a few times. Tech support says the problem is the cmos battery and I need to send it in to get it fixed. Well, this is my only laptop so I cannot be without it for a few weeks so I can't do that.
This is extremely frustrating because this laptop was purchased less than a year ago. Why is this happening? I had my previous Dell laptop for 6 years and never had an issue like this. This is unacceptable to me. If I could still return it, I would have.

The time and date keeps unlocking, why wont it stay locked?

everytime i start my computer the date and time has changed to some crazy past date lite 1969. I fix and lock it and when i shutdown and return it has unlocked and changed again. How do I keep it locked.

PowerBooks, with a couple of minor exceptions, have a clock/PRAM backup battery inside, usually a Li-Ion rechargeable battery that can last nearly ten years or which can punk out after five years or so, depending on the luck of the draw. When the clock comes up set to baseline (midnight GMT January 1, 1970) repeatedly, that is a dead giveaway that the backup battery is kaput. That being said, the main battery should hold things up for quite a while, unless it is tanking as well. (More on that below.) There are relatively easy fixes for the problem that we can point you to.
What is the specific PowerBook model giving you this problem? Screen size, processor speed and machine model. Launch System Profiler in your Utilities folder in the Applications folder. You should see a Hardware Overview like this in Tiger:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name:          PowerBook G4 15"
Machine Model:          PowerBook3,5
CPU Type:          PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs:          1
CPU Speed:          1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU):          256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU):          1 MB
Memory:          1 GB
Bus Speed:          133 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          4.5.3f2
Copy and paste that into your reply, Do not include the Serial Number for the machine. Then click the Power line under Hardware in System Profiler and copy the battery and charger information there into your reply. That should give us some information about your main battery as well. It should look something like this:
Battery Information:
Battery Installed:          Yes
First low level warning:          No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          5527
Remaining Capacity (mAh):          5405
Amperage (mA):          0
Voltage (mV):          16553

AC Charger Information:

Time and date keep changing

It started happening a week or so ago. Every time I boot the time is changed. I set the date from the bios but arch shows the time wrong. Also because of this I sometimes get problems during bootup because the partition looks like it was last mounted in the future. Can anyone help me out?

Aside from possible hardware failure, automatic time adjust could be wrong. Try:
cat /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime
0.026639 1255063716 0.000000
1255063716
UTC
The first field should be a rather low value. If not, delete /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime and reboot.
If this does not help, make sure your hardware clock is set right (see: man hwclock). Make sure your current system time displays right and then issue (as root):
hwclock --systohc
Finally (or beforemost) check the HARDWARECLOCK setting in /etc/rc.conf. Does it match your system (either "UTC" or "localtime")?
BTW: This problem comes up often. Just search the forum.

Exporting time and date metadata onscreen in FCP 7

Hi there
Does anyone happen to know if i can display the time and date stamp onscreen when exporting to DVD in Final Cut Pro 7? I know that you can now capture the time/date metadata through log and transfer; i need to be able to show that onscreen the same way that you might use timecode when exporting to DVD.
Additionally does anyone know of a plugin that might give me the same control over this as we already get over timecode?
And finally, is it possible to print out a log inc: clip name, time and date from FCP7?
Thanks
Chris

ProDateDV from Automatic Duck was a unfortunately mistimed one trick pony that did this ... but only for DV format footage unfortunately, and as such it totally missed the DV bus, as it was only released just about a year ago. It seems to have been pulled from their products page already. Shame. The problem is that every different acquisition format records and stores this data differently, and usually proprietarily, so the details of how and where to find it within the auxiliary data stream is not at all straightforward, nor the means to write a plugin that would work regardless of source media type.
